Muse Cells
What Muse Cells are, why researchers study them, and how to ask informed questions about the product and the evidence.
MUSE stands for Multilineage-differentiating Stress Enduring. These naturally occurring cells were identified in 2010 by Dr. Mari Dezawa’s team at Tohoku University. Researchers identify them using a cell-surface marker called SSEA-3 and study how they respond to signals from stressed or damaged tissue.
Could MuseCell® therapy be worth exploring for you? Vita Nova is listed by MuseCell Innovations® as an authorized healthcare center, and every product lot is traceable with a Certificate of Analysis. Bring your diagnosis, what you have tried, and your questions to a consultation. Our clinical team will help you understand the research, the product, and whether further discussion makes sense for your goals—with no obligation to proceed.
Remarkable Cells, Naturally Found
Muse Cells occur naturally in adult tissues. Their SSEA-3 marker gives researchers a clear way to identify and study this distinct cell population.
Built to Endure Stress
The “Stress Enduring” in MUSE describes a striking trait: these cells can tolerate difficult biological conditions. Researchers also study how they respond to signals from injured tissue.
Research Beyond the Lab
Researchers are exploring how Muse Cells respond to injury signals and behave after administration. Early human studies have examined their use in areas such as stroke and cardiac recovery.
Confidence in the Source
Vita Nova obtains Dezawa MuseCell® products through the authorized MuseCell Innovations® channel. Each lot is traceable and comes with a Certificate of Analysis.
Could MuseCell® Therapy Be Worth Exploring for You?
Bring your diagnosis, prior treatments, and questions. Our clinical team can discuss the research, product documentation, regulatory status, risks, and established alternatives as they relate to you.

Questions and Guidance
Clear answers about MuseCell® therapy, sourcing, expectations, and next steps.
I’ve tried everything, and I’m still looking for answers.
You may have already tried therapy, injections, medications, or other treatments without getting where you hoped to be. We can help you understand whether MuseCell® therapy deserves a place in the conversation.
I want to understand MuseCells® before I make any decisions.
That’s exactly where we start. We’ll walk you through what Muse Cells are, what researchers are studying, what is known, and what questions still remain.
I keep hearing about stem cells, but I don’t know what’s legitimate.
It can be difficult to separate science from marketing. Vita Nova uses authentic Dezawa MuseCells® obtained through the authorized MuseCell Innovations® distribution network, with lot-specific documentation and traceability.
How are MuseCells® different from other stem cells?
Muse Cells are a naturally occurring cell type identified by Dr. Mari Dezawa’s research provider. Researchers are studying their stress tolerance, cellular signaling, and ability to respond to signals associated with damaged tissue.
I’m not ready for surgery if there may be other options.
Wanting to understand your options is reasonable. A consultation gives you the opportunity to discuss your history, previous care, established treatments, and whether regenerative approaches are appropriate to explore.
Could MuseCell® therapy help with my condition?
That depends on your diagnosis, medical history, previous treatment, and individual circumstances. Our clinical provider reviews those factors with you rather than assuming one treatment is right for everyone.
I’m worried about being sold something experimental.
We believe you should understand both the potential and the limitations of emerging regenerative medicine. Our provider discusses the available research, regulatory status, uncertainties, risks, and established alternatives before you decide how to proceed.
Is Dezawa MuseCell® therapy FDA-approved?
Muse Cell products have been evaluated in early-stage human research, but that research does not establish an FDA-approved treatment. We discuss the regulatory status openly as part of your consultation.
How do I know I’m receiving authentic MuseCells®?
Every lot used at Vita Nova comes through the authorized MuseCell Innovations® distribution channel, is traceable to its source, and includes a Certificate of Analysis from an authorized laboratory.
Why should I talk with Vita Nova about MuseCells®?
Vita Nova is listed by MuseCell Innovations® as an Authorized Healthcare Center in Tennessee, and members of our provider traveled to Sendai, Japan, to deepen their understanding of the science associated with Dr. Mari Dezawa’s work.
I just want to get back to doing the things I enjoy.
For many people, the goal isn’t complicated—it’s staying active, spending time with family, working comfortably, traveling, or simply enjoying everyday life again. Your goals are an important part of the conversation.
What happens if I schedule a consultation?
We start with your medical history, concerns, previous care, expectations, and questions. Scheduling a consultation does not obligate you to treatment or guarantee that MuseCell® therapy will be appropriate for you.
What Patients Are Saying
